2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 - MPG Test | Real-world Highway Range & Efficiency

German luxury sedans have always made for great highway cruisers, and BMW's new electric 5-series, the i5, is no different. However, the smaller wheels would give you better range and efficiency. Alas.

I don’t know why so many manufacturers insist on putting such huge wheels on cars, it’s just silly. Oh well, at least you can spec smaller ones on this car! Thanks for the work.

[@Zergcerebrates]

Because bigger wheels looks better and sportier. Smaller wheels give the car tires a more donut look, like a car for someone that really lived.

You’re obviously not a car enthusiast…..

I ordered mine with 19” for comfort and potholes. The 20” aero design might be a good in between option.

These cars should come with 16inch rims, at least in Michigan the roads are horrendous. If they want to produce real cars, they have to be versatile in all conditions.

@@superbros1690 I also ordered one with 19" for comfort and range

You should have tested the car with the assistance plus package, which would have allowed you to keep the hands totally off the steering wheel as well as auto overtaking.

[@HiiImChris]

My dream car, no joke. I seriously love this vehicle, specifically the i5/ev variant

[@ahnottingham]

Yes, amazing car!

[@RetroKingOG]

Could you find A subaru Crosstrek Hybrid.
No body has done a proper fuel test on one.
Surprising considering they sold like 90,000 of them in Canada, and somewhere round 35,000 US

[@ATTESAfr]

You sacrifice range with the WIDER tires not with the bigger wheels !

[@DailyMotor]

The larger wheels are often less aerodynamic
